Jimmy Kimmel Reveals “Worst Twerk Fail EVER – Girl Catches Fire

If you’ve been on the Internet in the last week, you’ve probably seen the super-viral video of the “worst twerk fail ever.” It depicts a young woman named Caitlin Heller twerking in her yoga pants, so focused on the performance that she accidentally falls through a glass coffee table and is set on fire by the lit candles resting on it. Well, Caitlin appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show Monday night to reveal the truth behind the video: It’s a big ol’ hoax. In the full version of the clip, Jimmy runs into the room to extinguish the flames on Caitlin — aka stuntwoman Daphne Avalon. After mocking the many news outlets that ran the video (“Good thing nothing is happening in Syria right now”), Jimmy thanked his co-conspirator for helping him “deceive the world and hopefully put an end to twerking forever.”
